The night drew a blanket over the land of Otogakure and the silence that it brought covered more than just the region. The acts that had been perpetrated as the sunlight wilted went undiscovered as the dark and quiet kept a lid on it all. Bodies littered the uninhabited, rolling hills a few miles outside of the country's primary village. Aside from a survivor of the first massacre, singled out to tell tales of the killer, only one was left alive. The female criminal nin, Uriko Nagase. She had spent the last few hours passing in and out of consciousness, the severe burns marring her skin having led to mass bleeding and total exhaustion. Bruising had occurred at skin level and in some areas, deeper and more painfully. The injuries would not have had anything like as dramatic an effect had the kunoichi had time to recover in between the day's events. And she hadn't done herself any favours by overexerting herself against the three enforcers that had been sent to investigate her activities. But her patience had been wearing thin and to her credit, the skirmish had ended very quickly. Regardless, the current situation demanded relatively immediate medical attention. Left alone her body would heal naturally, but it would take weeks. She was in no fit state to travel and had very few provisions on her. Ultimately, the main concern was whether she would starve or not. The heavy bleeding had all but stopped, most of the cuts having coagulated except the very largest, in her abdomen. The kunoichi had already sealed this one with a medical stitching technique, but after being hit full on by a powerful Katon explosion, it had come undone well before its time, the savagery of the jutsu preventing even cauterization.

The woman groaned. Her head throbbed with a dull pain as what she hoped was the real world swam tentatively into view. She hoped because, for the last hour or so, her mind had wandered into dreams whilst she was actually unconscious. Twice now she'd mistakenly believed herself to be awake. Not one to suffer such mind games, the first thing Uriko did once she'd established motor control over her body once more, was to strike her own leg with a weakly clenched fist. "Aaah! Shit!" She cried out reflexively, pain flaring up throughout the impacted flesh. "Awake. Finally." She muttered in-between deep, heavy breaths. A compulsive shiver ran through her body as she noticed the biting cold of night. Her clothes had been all but destroyed in the flames of the jutsu she'd allowed to strike her. A few scraps of material hung loosely from her neck and waist, but that was the extent of her protection. Modesty wasn't something she particularly cared about, but having trained herself extensively in medical knowledge, she knew all too well hypothermia might set in. Ironic, considering the burn wounds she was currently carrying. First. Assess the damage. The woman thought silently to herself. She took one sweeping glance over her damaged body. She rolled her eyes. Not great. With the diagnosis done, she drew a kunai from an already unlatched pouch at her hip. Bringing it to rest on her lower thigh, she gritted her teeth and tensed her hand. The dark medical technique she planned on using would require a sacrifice on Uriko's part. A pound of flesh would suffice.

Wide eyes stared deep into the kunoichi's. A weak groan escaped the man's mouth as he slid sideways and collapsed against the wall. "I will not -" The woman began, grunting as she pulled her blade from the corpse's body. "- permit these vermin to touch me." She declared, wiping the short katana on her robe. "You are a savage, malicious creature and you have falllen as far as a shinobi can, Uriko." A voice echoed around the dimly-lit room. "And you've come to me in order to sink lower. I hardly think our 'subjects' here can dirty your soul any more than you already have." The owner of the deep voice remained in the shadows, his visage hidden from sight. "Again." He muttered. The dull sound of metal bars falling upon each other soon followed as heavy locks were released. Uriko sighed deeply and let the sword fall from her hand. A half-naked man stumbled into the lantern light. He held a small, rusted knife in his left hand. The next that Uriko knew was the pain that racked her body as he set about tearing it to pieces, finishing with a flourish across her neck. Blood streamed forth and the woman fell to the floor, gurgling desperately. As the crazed assailant dropped to mutilate her already damaged form, a huge, ethereal claw wrapped itself around him, followed by a sickening crunch as it compressed his entire skeleton to shrapnel. "Continue." The other voice instructed calmly. With the last of her strength, the dying kunoichi's fingers found the fallen knife and grasped at it. Pulling it closer she wasted no time in turning it on her own body. Not even flinching, she carved a chunk of flesh from her thigh and let it fall. Plucking the bloody remains from the ground, she lifted the meat and held it to her lips. Closing her eyes in sheer distaste, she pressed the wet flesh into her mouth. Uriko had to hold her nose to force a gag reflex. Almost instantly, her stomach began to writhe as her body exhaled its last. A bloody mess burst forth and amongst it, the woman who had just died got to her feet. Surveying herself, the kunoichi could find no trace of the wounds she'd just suffered at all. "Extraordinary..." She whispered.

The blade stayed perfectly still. Uriko's brow furrowed as she faltered in her technique. It was true, this jutsu would banish all recent ailments immediately. But her bones, muscles and skin... they wouldn't reap the benefit of proper healing. And in her current state, such a task for such normal healing methods would require an immense amount of skill and stamina. Her medical abilities would be put to the test, for sure. "Hm." She muttered, eventually lifting the kunai away from her skin. Always one to rise to the challenge, Uriko was now curious to see just how good she was. Dropping the metal projectile she formed seals at a rapid pace. A pale green light began to emanate from her hand and she set about passing it over her body, from head to toe. It was painstaking work, having to attend to each section of her body for at least ten minutes. And this was only to quash any immediate dangers. As her hand reached lower and lower, both of her feet became enveloped in the same, pale green aura. Unable to fully reach her injured back, the kunoichi applied the Shousen to her feet and, kneeling down, she leaned backwards so that her back was pressed against them. Her head lolled with relief. That had been a particularly painful area. It took about ninety minutes of this before Uriko felt confident enough to get to her feet. She did so with surprisingly little effort, but showed no hint of pleasure at the effectiveness of her medical prowess. Instead, she set about gathering chakra to her gut. Where one of the enforcers had struck just after the fireball had connected, the woman could feel an internal bleed. A moment later, she began to gag as her gullet swelled up. A lump moved up from her aesophagus and into her throat, before reaching her mouth. Sublaxing her jaw, Uriko allowed the bloody mess to fall into her open palm. Once more the green aura extended from the woman's hand but this time, a little brighter. The obvious crack in the organ sealed up almost instantly. The kunoichi calmly held it to her mouth and forced it to travell back down her gullet. The whole process was over in a matter of moments. Uriko simply stood there, nonplussed, contorting her mouth at the unpleasant taste.

Quote :: Name: Shousen no Jutsu [Mystical Hand Technique].
Rank: A.
Type: Eijutsu.
Range: Close (0m – 5m).
Element: None.
Description: Shousen Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique utilized by medical ninja. This technique allows the ninja to heal wounds by focusing their own chakra to their hands. If the ninja is highly skilled, they are able to heal more critical injuries.
NB: Missing an arm, Uriko has learned to apply combative Eijutsu with her feet as well. This does sacrifice precision somewhat, thus is not appropriate for surgerical means.
Chakra Cost: 20.

Name: Kisshin no Jutsu [Raw Restoration Technique].
Rank: A.
Type: Eijutsu.
Range: Close (0m – 5m).
Element: None.
Description: This jutsu requires intimate medical and biological knowledge and cannot be performed without at minimum the 'Experienced Medical Nin' characteristic. If one of the user's (or an ally's) internal organs is damaged beyond available repair, they can use this technique to replace it there and then. The user begins this technique by concentrating chakra to the damaged organ. Within moments, a swelling appears in their gullet and they regurgitate the organ (if performed on an ally, this requires a touch from the medical nin to force this to happen). With it in hand, the user forms a seal and the organ returns to perfect condition. Replacing it demands to user return to the first process and swallow it, using chakra to position it. Placing it back in a target is managed similarly, except the organ is controlled after swallowing externally by the medic.
Chakra Cost: 20.

Remaining CP: 150.
